THERAPY FOR LGBTQ IN ORANGE COUNTY, LONG BEACH & ONLINE IN CALIFORNIA
Navigating LGBTQ gender and sexuality is an inherently valuable journey, and uniquely yours.
Therapy can help you understand and embrace yourself, leading to profound personal growth and deep fulfillment.
Your journey as an LGBTQ individual has probably had profound challenges and deep emotional pain.
Perhaps you bear the scars of rejection, whether from family or friends, faith/religion, or society at large.
Or you feel the isolation that comes from feeling different, the fear of discrimination, and the internal conflict between self-acceptance and external expectations. Perhaps you’ve experienced bullying or faced exclusion, leaving you feeling afraid, invisible, misunderstood, and alone. These experiences can lead to an underlying sense of loneliness and self-doubt, making it difficult to know your worth and to trust others.
